Hello all.

I got mine from reefcleaners . Clean up most of my aptasia, except for a corner which the darn damsel is guarding.

I checked them out. They are out of stock.

Oh. When should I start looking ?

I forget but they are seasonal. Probably once it warms up I would guess

Are you sure that’s the correct species?
I thought it was L. wurdemanni
But I’ve been wrong before...

That’s the name I got from reef man YouTube videos. But the species that you mentioned is what everyone is carrying. So dunno.

Andy and the rest of the team didn't do their work until well after that book was published. You might remember him more by the handle: Spawner. Very nice guy and a huge wealth of knowledge.
